Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a device capable of conveniently measuring the thickness of the slag layer of a hot metal ladle, belonging to the technical field of hot metal smelting measurement equipment. Background Art
[0002] During the ironmaking process in a blast furnace, some impurities form non-melting waste slag in the hot metal and float above the hot metal. The waste slag brought into the torpedo ladle during the tapping process of the blast furnace enters the hot metal ladle on the iron ladle car in the steelmaking plant and then enters the converter, where the waste slag needs to be removed. To remove the waste slag, it is necessary to sample and measure the temperature of the hot metal, and through chemical analysis, inform the converter front operation room of the composition and temperature of the hot metal. The converter front operation room determines the charging amount, slag addition amount, and operation mode of this furnace based on the composition and temperature of the hot metal. The content of SiO2, S, etc. in the slag brought by the hot metal is relatively high, which will cause an increase in the consumption of lime in the converter, an increase in the slag volume, easy splashing, an increase in metal loss, and affect the dephosphorization of the converter. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the slag content of the hot metal.
[0003] Currently, during daily operation, it is not easy to detect the slag content of the hot metal. When the slag amount in the hot metal is large, the method of skimming the slag is often adopted, and skimming the slag requires manual removal of the waste slag from the hot metal. The skimming operation is time-consuming and laborious, with low skimming efficiency. It is difficult to determine whether the slag amount exceeds the standard requirements in a short time, which is not conducive to the production organization of the steelmaking plant and has certain risks. Therefore, how to design a measuring tool for the thickness of the hot metal slag layer is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a device for conveniently measuring the thickness of the slag layer of a hot metal ladle, which can overcome technical problems such as large heat radiation of the hot metal in a large-capacity ladle, low measurement efficiency of the hot metal slag thickness, high operation risk, untimely data feedback, and inaccurate data reading, reduce the labor intensity of operators, shorten the operation time, and improve the measurement accuracy and work efficiency.
[0005] The technical solution for solving the above technical problem is:
[0006] A device for conveniently measuring the thickness of the slag layer in a molten iron ladle, which includes a measuring rod, a measuring handle, a height adjustment disc, and a measuring piece. The measuring rod is a vertical round steel rod. The measuring handle is fixed at the upper end of the measuring rod. The height adjustment disc is a disc with an inner hole at its center. The inner hole of the height adjustment disc is sleeved on the wall of the measuring rod, and the inner hole of the height adjustment disc and the wall of the measuring rod are in sliding fit. There is an inverted L-shaped card slot at the lower part of the measuring rod. The long slot of the L-shaped card slot opens on the wall of the measuring rod along the length direction of the measuring rod, and the depth of the long slot in the measuring rod corresponds to the central axis of the measuring rod. The short slot of the L-shaped card slot opens on the wall of the measuring rod along the circumferential direction of the measuring rod, and the short slot is perpendicular to the long slot. The measuring piece is a straight rod, and a horizontal bolt is welded at the upper end of the straight rod. The width of the straight rod of the measuring piece matches the width of the long slot of the L-shaped card slot on the wall of the measuring rod, and the straight rod of the measuring piece is embedded in the long slot. The width of the bolt of the measuring piece matches the width of the short slot of the L-shaped card slot on the wall of the measuring rod, and the bolt of the measuring piece is embedded in the short slot.
[0007] For the above device for conveniently measuring the thickness of the slag layer in a molten iron ladle, the diameter of the height adjustment disc is greater than the diameter of the measuring hole on the measuring platform. The height adjustment disc is placed above the measuring hole. An adjusting nut is welded on the disc surface of the height adjustment disc, and the axis of the adjusting nut is perpendicular to the axis of the measuring rod. An adjusting bolt is fitted on the adjusting nut, and the front end of the adjusting bolt is tightly connected to the side wall of the measuring rod.
[0008] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0009] The structure of the present utility model is simple, with low manufacturing cost and convenient operation. It successfully solves technical problems such as large thermal radiation of molten iron in a large-capacity ladle, low measuring efficiency of the thickness of molten iron slag, high operation risk, untimely data feedback, inaccurate data reading, etc. It effectively reduces the number of ladles for slag skimming, greatly reduces the labor intensity and workload of slag skimming operators, significantly shortens the labor time, improves work efficiency, and can avoid the inaccuracy of the original slag skimming method, reduce iron consumption, and create good economic benefits. After calculation, the annual efficiency improvement reaches more than 1.5 million yuan. Description of the Drawings
